LA’s Zig-Zags have been at it for a while, finding the middle ground between raw #garagepunk and classic #metal, and their upcoming album They’ll Never Take Us Alive — their first for RidingEasy Records — is some of their most metal stuff yet.

Vocalist/guitarist J. Maheu says:

«The thing is – we ain’t dead yet. Every album we record, every song we write – has to be faster, harder and heavier – than the one before. And that’s why this new record is all about upping the ante and raises the stakes, and why it marks the dawn of a new day…and a new era.
This album, our first with RidingEasy, was written over the last year. It’s reveals our longtime roots, our enduring love (all hail!) to the early punk of our hero(ines) Dead Moon and The Wipers (forever!) but friends, don’t be misled…this is a METAL record – of the true blue, headbangin’, riff-ridin’, no-bullshit – kind.»
